Endless Romantic who believe in life that is to be lived fully without any regrets. Dreaming is good, following your dreams is better. I decided to row across North Atlantic from New York City my current home to Isles of Scilly, England to be the first one to make this journey solo. Wish me luck and strength to endure what needs to be endured during this amazing adventure. For more details see my website: https://www.milanrows.com/ or other social media @milanrows
North Atlantic Ocean Crossing NY to UK
Total Distance: Approximately 3280.54 miles (5,279.51km) straight line, but it’s never straight line Estimated Duration: Expecting Minimum 3 months but thinking realistically more like 4 Historical Statistics There have only been 16 solo rows completed across North Atlantic from West to East however, none began the journey from New York to St. Mary’s Harbor, Isles of Scilly, UK – I will be the very first solo rower to attempt this route. In total, there have been 16 successful solo rows completed by 14 rowers (two people rowed twice), 32 unsuccessful attempts undertaken by 21 rowers and three rowers lost at sea (never found). Of the 21 solo rowers, three made two unsuccessful attempts and succeeded on the third attempt.
